Mess-Free Bag Painting

All the fun of squishing paint with zero mess: two or three colors sealed inside a sturdy freezer bag, taped to the floor or a window. Baby pats, presses, squishes, and watches the colors swirl together.

Step by step

  1. Squeeze 2 or 3 blobs of primary colored paint into a sturdy freezer bag.
  2. Push out the extra air, zip it shut, and tape all four edges securely with strong tape.
  3. Tape the bag flat onto the floor or a low window right at baby's height.
  4. Press the bag gently yourself to show how the paint moves around.
  5. Let your baby pat, squish, and spread the paint with their fingers; name the colors and new shades as they appear. If they try to pull the bag off, tape it down further out and demonstrate the squishing again.
  6. Peel off the bag, check for any leaks, and save it for a few days of repeat play.
